{"exhibit":{"title":"The Women's Suffrage Movement in a College Community","description":"
In this digital exhibit, you\u2019ll find a series of galleries that explore the Simmons community's involvement, on and off campus, in the fight for women's right to vote -- in suffrage associations<\/a> and marches<\/a>, and as the movement increased its recruitment of college women<\/a>. Which academic departments, and professions, were the hotbeds of activism<\/a>? What did students think about the pro-<\/a> and anti-suffrage<\/a> views of their professors? Who embraced the cause<\/a> of \u201cVotes for Women,\u201d and was there an underground student suffrage club<\/a> at Simmons? How did the struggle for voting rights, and civil rights, for all women continue<\/a> after the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920? The answers may surprise you!<\/span><\/p>\r\n
